Have you ever had a sub rosa communication with a primitive, via e-mail or personal message on a web-site?
Here, I'm talking specifically about primitives from Skins's island only, and not primitives from other islands.
If you wish, and if convenient, please describe how it happened.
It sorely disappoints me that I've never, really, had communication with a primitive, while so many others here have had lots and lots of it.
I dunno why the primitives ignore franksolich, who's a nice guy, one of the nicest guys one can hope to meet.
I've been thinking about this because I've been watching the precipitous decline in the writing potential of the "Mythsaje" primitive, and his prospects.
I dunno how GOBUCKS nailed it, but he nailed it, and good.
Damn, you're good, GOBUCKS, sir.
I always had this "picture" of franksolich as an old wealthy man sitting by the fireside, sipping cognac and brandy, thinking of things that will no longer be, at peace with himself and the world. It's cold and dark outside, and one can see the snow falling on the other side of the windows.
Something out of Charles Dickens, in London of the 1840s.
And suddenly the face of a dirty little waif is pressed against the window, looking in. His nose is flattened against the glass. The forlorn maudlin little ragamuffin really really really wants to come inside.
franksolich contemplates the other side of the window, and suddenly thinks, "Aha! The ragged kid's got potential. He's a nobody right now, but all he needs is a little bit of guidance, a little bit of direction, and he could be the biggest thing since the printing press."
franksolich grabs a candle, and rushes to the door.
But then the ungrateful little bastard runs away, into the darkness.

That's one "No".

:rofl: GOBUCKS -- the go-to guy for perspective on DU.
I've never been that fortunate. The closest I've come to is arguing with a middle-aged idiot cousin about public healthcare. I still maintain to this day that we can not afford as a nation to have the government pay for every single person in the country. Pres0dent 0bama is going to prove everyone right that told him he was wrong.

I'd like to chat with them - I'd like to understand them beyond their political leanings -which I disagree with almost entirely. Unfortunately though most of the primitives of prominence around here are the ones I like the least - Sniffa, BiBabe, IanDavid.. Though I wouldn't mind chatting with the all but forgotten former Mrs.Sniffa - I find her interesting - or it could be a bit of old fashioned chivalry kicking in, as I have a soft spot for women mercilessly dashed against rocks as she has been.

Oh man, you don't want to even touch the skumbag primitive with a ten-foot pole.
Or even a thousand-foot pole.
You don't even want to breathe the same air as the skumbag primitive.
Trust me.
The bi-boobs primitive, that craven husband-stealing hussy, and the sniffing primitive, he of schmekele fame, the one who prefers cheap brass over good gold, always struck me as airheads, the sort of air that comes out of the other end of the body.
The abandonado primitive, the Falling Phoenix primitive, the former Mrs. Sniffa primitive, might be worth some time.

I had a troll account over there, does that count? Sadly I forgot to blame bush on one post and got tombstoned.

No, never in a situation where a DUmmy realized he was communicating with a decent and civilized person.
I think such instances are probably very rare.
DUmmies often claim conversations with us, in their silly bouncy stories, but of course those are all fictional. We and DUmmies rarely cross paths except in cyberspace, and in cyberspace they are usually screaming profane hatred, and we are laughing at them. Not conducive to communication. In real life, most DUmmies live in a world that is very foreign to most of us.
I also think of the families of DUmmies. In some cases, likely not the majority, but some, DUmmies have families who are perfectly normal. What an ordeal it must be for these people to endure family get togethers with a DUmmy in attendance, or even worse, to live under the same roof.
But franksolich has had lots and lots of indirect communication from DUmmies.
In one memorable message, he was to be scraped from a boot heel with a knife, and fed to DUmmy Bill Pitt's cat!
We have to assume that never happened.
-
Not unless my semi-moonbat sib or my full-blooded-moonbat sib-in-laws have accounts there.
-
Another no and I don't think I could stand the smell anyway. :-)

Oh yeah. Good times, from the Scamdal.
The Bostonian Drunkard's bluster.
Then Fat Che got the idea to come out here to "play baseball" with me, and the sensitive lad, the piano playing primitive, the "goodboy" primitive, wanted to go along.
I showed that to people around here, and within a couple of days, I was finding baseball bats on the front porch. Most of them looked as if they had been dug out of attics or basements, or gotten for a couple of dimes from garage sales.
I dunno how many bats I ended up having, but early that autumn, when I was getting ready to leave where I was at, moving out here where I'm at now, I used the bats for firewood in the wood-burning furnace.

I'd like to kick their ass! I have no time or patience for ignorant people! I'd just as soon kick them in the balls/twat and flush them down the toilet!
Sorry for the language, but these people don't deserve any leniency.
To a man/woman/it, these people are trying to destroy my country. I have absoluetly no tolerance for their BS!

Yep! Have talked to 4 of them on DU alone including your favorite stoned angry primitive Frank! :lmao:

Oh man.
You actually first-hand communicated with Chief S itting Bull, the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive?
Damn, you're good, sir.

One of the options you posted was communication through a website.
That being said...I would humbly opine that you should change your answer to yes.
You had already come over from FR to CU during the kerfuffle with The Red Round One. We both got to lock horns with Will Pitt when he briefly showed up at TOS.
I've been on the revieving end of hate mail from the likes of rabrrr and a couple others...then of course there's the dust up I had with mike_c and the ensuing smack down I gave him at LU and of course my ongoing thing with LynnTheDem.
I'm just glad in all of these dealing I've had the protection of distance and the internet. If they don't like my personality online...they'd like it even less in person.

You know, I recall the Bostonian Drunkard being at our old home, along with the sensitive lad, the piano-playing primitive, the "goodboy" primitive. And also some deeply-menopausally-disturbed primitive with one of those really stupid screen-names ("BeHereNow" or "SomethingsGottaGive" or "NothingShocksMeAnymore," or something like that). And of course Fat Che as the disgruntled one.
I recall at various times I commented to them.
But I don't recall they ever responded. It was as if I was being shunned.
Maybe they did, but I missed it.
When Pedro Picasso was making an ass of himself at our old home, I sent him a regular e-mail, gently suggesting he needed a public-relations agent to help him acquire a better public persona, and since I had a proven track record of making silk purses out of pigs' ears, he should consider hiring me, so as to improve his image.
One-way communication not being real communication, that can't count.
Pedro Picasso, much to his great loss, never responded.

IMHO it's because you frighten them. Not in a physical beat the crap outta someone way...but intellectually.
Your are eloquent and obviously well read and you make what they post look like crayon scribblings from a pre schooler....so they opt not to be made to look foolish by you.
Take that as a compliment from them.
Me on the other hand...they look at me as some knuckle dragging rethuglican baby killer and obviously not as smart as they are so they try to go toe to toe with me.
And then later regret it. :-)
-
Sorry., but the answer is no....I don't speak DUmmienese.

Yeah, right, TxRadioGuy.
You know, you've done a Hell of a lot more with your life than I ever did, and I mean that and am not shy about saying it. Merely being in the U.S. Army and the father of children destined to make this world a better place, is more than I've ever done.
And you've probably done even more than that, much more.
I'm not flattering TxRadioGuy here, folks; I'm speaking the blunt truth.
franksolich is merely a luftmensch, one of these ambiguous beings who dances through life living on water and air. The guest at the inn who departs before the innkeeper comes in to serve breakfast.
(A guest who has paid for his room in advance, though, remember.)
The primitives have nothing to fear from franksolich; franksolich is a nice guy, one of the nicest guys one can hope to meet.

I used to have quite a bit of communication with Fister on Wikipedia. Bordering on friendly even. I don't edit over there anymore though.
-
I forgot to ask. Does YouTube count?
-
Yup. When I had a troll account and I would post my opinion (where I thought I could get away with it) I have 2 or 3 send me PM's saying they agreed with me. Strange they wouldn't agree with me in the open ......

If they're primitives from Skins's island specifically, it doesn't matter where one communicates with them. Just so they're primitives from Skins's island.

Yes, with the IdaBriggs primitive. She's a nutjob.
She posted her email on something she wrote one time about 3 years ago and I responded. What she wrote back was some 15,000 word rambling nonsense which would put Bridget and that VOR idiot to shame. I wrote back some short and to the point answer, and she went off on some other 15,000 word rant. I answered one more time and added that she needed to shorten her answers, to quit rambling down all the rabbit trails and just stick to the topic. Got another 15,000 word novel of nothingness and decided I'd spent enough time dealing with someone who was as worthless as their posts were long.

When I had the wicked-kitten website up, the death threats came in by the gross.
-
Yes, I have! And this particular primitive, in a way, led me to TOS and all of you good people.
I first encountered this primitive on a forum for grousing about your inlaws. She was, by far, one of the most prolific posters, and would try to turn any discussion political. The first time she came after me was in a thread about prayer in schools. Anyway, she got the webmaster to create a board for political discussion, and then, unbeknownst to most members, got Mod status. (Mods were anonymous) Needless to say, the conservatives had nearly all our posts removed when the flame wars started. Her constant posting of links to DU ended up leading me to TOS, to my absolute delight.
The primitive got a longtime, popular, pleasant and of course conservative member banned from the inlaw site, so a pack of us left in protest. Apparently some of the folks who left set up some dummy site to attract the primitive and her minions, with the goal of engaging her in, what exactly, I don't know. It must have worked because next thing I knew, she emailed me through my user ID at the inlaw site with all kinds of veiled threats and somewhat incoherent rantings, accusing me of stalking her, among other things. Judging by the time of the email, I suspect she was drunk. A few days later, on one of my trips to Skin's island, I stumbled across this, one of my favorite all-time posts:

Ah, I read that with such pride. I'm still not entirely sure what she thinks I did to her, but just knowing that I got her so angry warms my heart. This is the primitive formerly known as pacoyogi, spinner of campaign door-hanger bouncys.
-
Thats worth a few laughs :cheersmate: -- I seem to fly under their radar.

I'll add another.
When I was at CU, the buzzy primitive PM'd me, what prompted him to do so I don't know. He told me he thought most of the primitves were a bunch of blowhards and jerks, that he was a liberal but not that kind of liberal, etc... I wrote him back and told him that I realize all libs aren't quite as emptyheaded as the primitives, that I know some normal libs, etc...
A few minutes later I made a comment on a B/W thread about some statement some idiotic primitive made, and buzzy PM's be back with this "Why did you say that about this primitive? I thought you were one of the good guys over here?," which was odd since I wasn't doing anything I didn't normally do. I wrote him back, but I don't remember what I said, but it was probably along the lines of "What in the world are you talking about?" His attitude sorta flipped after that towards me and others, and that was that.

I just remembered another DUmmie I've had the displeasure or conversing with via e-mail.
TomJoadYosarrian
The most disgusting piece of filth I've ever encountered.
He is one of the morons from over there that I can honestly say better hope I don't run into him on the street someday.
-
Sadly no, at least not that I know of.
I was traveling out of State and stopped by an old college buddies house to see his new kid (total cutie, their first). His wife is a bit moonbatty and opened the coversation with agony of door to door Obama plugging in Indiana. Meh, I just wanted to meet the kid, say hi, have a beer and be on my way so no political discussion took place.
I have a fairly new Polish-American sister-in-law who is full on Commie but thinks she is just a socialist. (lol) Otherwise she is cool as can be, a fellow smoker and just gave me my first nephew. Politics almost never come up. She rooted against the USofA in the last Olympics because "we win all the medals" and thinks the 4th of July is "jigoistic" but the only conversation we ever had about that was pretty short and sweet. She said something like "sorry, I just hate all this flag waving who-ha" and I said something like, "this is America, never apologise for your opinion" and that was that. We mostly talk about family matters, how I can help fix up their house and the more important battles for the planet, that being, the apolitical and vastly more important war between the sexes. :rotf:
Most times you gotta live and let live!

Maybe, but it was before I ever knew about DU.
I had a brief interest in alternate history after reading one of Harry Turtledove's better novels. I searched out a website dedicated to such and I enjoyed the company, most of the posters were liberals but not jerks.
In the genreal discussion forum one of them posted an attack on an anti-welfare position and I posted a defense of the position. For some reason that sent the very liberal northeast college professor candidate, whose screen name I can't remember, into a blind rage in which he attacked my post, my education, and my family's genetic history. I regarded the screed as being unworthy of a college professor and advised him that after he calmed down he may consider changing his post, to which I received another screed. This continued on for a couple of months more or less. At some point during this I discovered DU by accident and didn't think much of it.
One day, prior to Star Wars: The clone wars coming out, I posted a tongue in cheek article from a conservative web site defending Palpatine. It wasn't directed at him, only for the humor, but I couldn't have scored a more direct hit if I tried. Other posters were trying to get him to calm down by then. I then noticed the same article posted in DU general discussion less than a day later, it was odd in that the article was written and posted before the first of the new trilogy came out. I've always thought that prticular DUmpmonkie and the other poster were the same.
